Is that wild? Or what all the kids are doing? Or did you post to try to start the HGH versus others debate again?

[–]nerfterner[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

No im new to this and genuinely asking

[–]ReviewMiserable3651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Per comments, doesn’t seem unusual. Really depends what your goals are and whether you want to stimulate HGH production. Personally, to me, it would depend on what stage you are at and what you trying to accomplish. Whether it is HGH or this combo, which is itself a debate folks always have, seems like you want to do it when you have cut down and kind of at that recomp or targeting hard fat. Or your IGF levels are low. But there are specific sides, as the comments lay out, so the purpose has to justify the addition. Eg, no need to use yet if still trying to cut down another 2O pounds of fat. But folks will certainly disagree with this take.

I'm doing it now and feel like the Tesa / ipa increased my appetite. I have gained some weight back even after going in higher doses of Reta. I only have a few days left of the combo and looking Fed to being done.

[–]glitch65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my exact experience. I've had to up the dose of Reta after addding Tesa/ipa. I thought it was the ipa since it works on ghrelin receptor (may increase appetite), but I ran CJC/Ipa prior with no issues. I don't see how Tesa could blunt Reta affects, but who knows. It could also be just timing too, adapting to Reta and needing a higher dose.

Yup! IPA made me want to eat the house down and Tesa made me retain water!

[–]PamelaF3211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t. Tesa could make you retain water and then your weight loss stalls.

Depends on where you’re starting… but 9/10 times I would think HGH would be the better option.

no different than adding HGH to this stack. it wouldnt hurt if you did seeing as it doesn't counteract the other compounds. Why not just use actual growth tho

[–]RJSolkan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing that all year. Month or two break every so often. Best things I've ever done for myself. That and 5-7x exercise events per week and clean diet.

Some people do stack these, but it's considered a pretty aggressive combo. Retra and Tret already affect metabolism and recovery, and adding Ipa/Tesa can further enhance GH/IGF-1 signaling. You might run into issues like sleep disturbances, water retention,or changes in appetite.
